"TALIESSEN is our fullest throat of song."—The Holy Grail.

Our fullest throat of song is silent, hushed

In Autumn, when the songless woods are still,

And with October's boding hectic flushed

Slowly the year disrobes. A passionate thrill

Of strange proud sorrow pulses through the land,

His land, his England, which he loved so well:

And brows bend low, as slow from strand to strand

The Poet's passing bell

Sends forth its solemn note, and every heart
